Hi our daughter is getting married in the Algarve in September and is putting together an info sheet for guests who will all be staying in/around Carvoeiro. She has asked me for names/contacts of good hairdressers/beauticians in the village and also for a list of taxi numbers. All help/advice much appreciated.Susan

Hi SusanB
When our daughter got " married" a couple of years ago at the Tivoli, she used Victor Picardo, going up restaurant hill, on the right : my wife went to Christine , just next door to MaJa's...both were satisfied! Beauty treatment was at the lovely hotel by the beach at Albandira:

Flowers were from an excellent place in Messines.
Is she marrying at the Tivoli? If so, Fia can give you all the info you need.
Best of luck

Thanks for info Geoff, I will go in and see Christine. Our daughter is getting married at Quinta Dos Vales Vineyard. I think some of the guests are staying at Alba Suites. My hairdresser/beautician are based in Ferragudo/Alvor so not suitable for them.

Do you remember when my friend Jaq and I joined you both for a walk around Silves about 4 years ago? I had been hoping to join your walking group when we arrived here but my dog broke my ankle about 2-1/2 years ago when he ran into me!! I have just had my third op - an ankle replacement. I hope to join your walking group later in the year.

Hi Susan
What a small world...yes I do remember, the Isle Rosario walk, and you were the only two!...fortunately, we get a lot more these days...that was back in 2009 just after another daughter was married . Your picture is at :

Best of luck with the new ankle hope to see you walking in November.

Quinta Dos Vales Vineyard is a lovely spot & I am sure your daughter will have a lovely day.

My wife says she also goes to Chantelle in Ferraguedo, they do hair & beauty...just round the corner from the market, but it sounds as if you know that one.

Best wishes

Geoff

Hi Geoff, thanks for the link to the picture, will send on to Jaq. I really miss my walking but I'm determined to get back to it by the end of this year. Will be in touch. Best regards to you both, Susan
